Avaya S8700 manual Programming the Ipsi for static addressing

Chapter 6: IP interface configuration

Note:

To program DHCP addressing, you must complete certain sequences within a predetermined time-out interval. Avaya recommends that you read the following procedure completely before you start so that you are familiar with these sequences in advance.

Perform one of the following tasks depending on whether you use static or dynamic addressing:

●Programming the IPSI for static addressing on page 58

●Programming the IPSI for DHCP addressing on page 62

Programming the IPSI for static addressing

! Important:

If an IPSI is in a port network that is backed up with the Enterprise Survivable Server (ESS) option you must use static addressing for the ESS to provide service to the port network.

You administer the static IP address for the circuit pack directly through the Ethernet port connection on the faceplate (top port). See Figure 5.
